CAN POLISHING SILVER REALLY
TURN IT INTO GOLD?

Adrian Sawyer*

Professor of Taxation, Department of Accounting and Information
Systems, College of Business and Economics, University of Canterbury,
Christchurch New Zealand. Email: adrian.sawyer@ canterbury.ac.nz. I
would like to thank Andrew Maples for his comments on an earlier version
of this paper. I would also like to thank participants at the 2013 ATTA
Conference in Auckland for their helpful suggestions and the anonymous
referee for their comments, which have improved the paper. However, the
usual caveats apply. This paper is part of a larger project reviewing the tax
rewrite projects of Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, and
with respect to the Australian project, comments reflect a project that is yet
to be completed. It states the position as at 30 June 2013.
